Coronavirus ~ COVID-19

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-03-2021, 09:58 AM

My sister and BIL have caught Covid-19. It is only a matter of time (probably) before my niece and her husband catch it (they live in the basement of my sister's house).

I was really hoping they would make it through this mess without catching it. I pray that my 80-year-old mother doesn't get it; she doesn't live in the same house, but my sister spends a lot of time taking care of her. I'm not sure how they're going to handle that.

My sister and BIL live in a small, rural town, and my sister is fanatical about mask-wearing and social distancing. Her two daughters and the one daughter's husband and my BIL are not as concerned as she is about taking precautions, however. They comply while at home (because my sister rules the roost) but I'm pretty sure they don't comply as well when not around my sister. Whatever happened, it finally caught up to them.

I hope they make it through this mess relatively unscathed.

I might be able to get my vaccine next Friday! (If I'm not on quarantine)

To say I'm happy dancing is an understatement.

My bestie gets her second dose on Jan 27 so we are planning a play date

I wish there was more solid data on if you can still transmit COVID after the vaccine. I really want to hug my mom and nephews.

My mom can get her first dose of the Covid vaccine next week! She's on board with it, which is great because she usually rebels at getting the flu vaccine. It will be such a relief.

That's great news!

I have to say I was irritated to come home and see that some massage therapists locally had gotten the vax. Not that they don't need safe working conditions and employment and income- they do. But here I am in an emergency shelter still waiting while inundated with person to person in drastic situations that are not optional in very tight quarters.

i got my 2nd dose Jan 6th. Let me tell you i felt miserable 2 days later. Fever and body aches and my arm felt like it was going to fall off. Id do it again if i had to. My mom gets her first shot on monday!! Im soooo happy for her!!! People need to remember this doesnt stop you from getting covid..it just greatly reduces your chances of getting seriously ill. We all need to stick to the right path til this thing is over.

I called my Mom this afternoon and told her that Queen Elizabeth got her vaccination today. She was amused.

I heard on NPR yesterday that a person dies from Covid-19 every 20 seconds.

So sad, and super scary.

COVID-19 vaccine shots begin at Disneyland parking lot, Orange County’s first super site

Cars and socially spaced crowds amassed at Disneyland’s Toy Story parking lot Wednesday, Jan. 13, as hundreds queued for coronavirus vaccines at Orange County’s first mass-vaccination site, a pivotal step toward county leaders’ new goal of delivering 1.5 million shots per month.

The tented site’s opening marks a new chapter in Orange County’s battle against the coronavirus as people age 65 and older, especially those who have underlying health conditions that might make them more susceptible to a bad case of COVID-19, can be vaccinated against the disease at the outset of the next, broader stage of the county’s vaccination campaign, called “Operation Independence.” Frontline health care workers are also still being vaccinated.

Information from the Orange County Register , published yesterday, updated today Jan 14, 2021
